Children & Young People Bulletin - SEND Green Paper

5 Apr 2022,

The Government has published a SEND and alternative provision green paper, setting out a vision for a single, national SEND and alternative provision system that will introduce new standards in the quality of support given to children. It also proposes a simplified Education, Health and Care Plan, and a new legal requirement for councils to introduce local inclusion plans. In addition, there is a focus on ensuring mainstream education is more inclusive and better at identifying and supporting needs.

In our media response on the Green Paper, we said it was good to see measures to increase mainstream inclusion, and that councils, as convenors of local SEND systems, will be able to bring education and health partners to the table where everyone is accountable for SEND provision. We said while the reforms will take time to be implemented, government should move quickly and work with councils to eliminate high needs deficits. We also produced a detailed briefing with our views on the SEND Green Paper.
